The Laufman's presented a workshop for string teachers at this years ASTA Conference. Prior to this, a middle school string teacher from the Kansas City area apprenticed with them via email and phone. She has taught her string students five dances and five fiddle tunes from the Laufman's White Mountain Reel and Companion books with CDs. At the conference workshop on Friday, 20 of these students on fiddle, viola, cello or bass sat in with the Laufman's as they taught the teachers traditional New England fiddling and dance.
